Background: Developing accessible Web-based materials to support diabetes self-management in people with lower levels of health literacy is a continuing challenge. Objective: The objective this international study was develop intervention promoting physical activity among type 2 determine whether audiovisual presentation and interactivity (quizzes, planners, tailoring) could help overcome the digital divide by making interventions effective for all literacy. This also aimed these can improve...
By 2050, worldwide dementia prevalence is expected to triple. Affordable, scalable interventions are required support protective behaviours such as physical activity, cognitive training and healthy eating. This paper outlines the theory-, evidence- person-based development of 'Active Brains': a multi-domain digital behaviour change intervention reduce decline amongst older adults.During initial planning phase, scoping reviews, consultation with PPI contributors expert co-investigators...
Increasing physical activity, improving diet, and performing brain training exercises are associated with reduced cognitive decline in older adults.In this paper, we describe a feasibility trial of the Active Brains intervention, web-based digital intervention developed to support adults make these 3 healthy behavior changes improved health. The is randomized that will test how accessible, acceptable, feasible effectiveness study procedures intend use larger, main trial.In controlled (RCT),...
Abstract Background By 2050 worldwide dementia prevalence is expected to triple, rising 152 million. Affordable, scalable interventions are required support protective behaviours such as physical activity, cognitive training and healthy eating. This paper outlines the development of ‘Active Brains’: a multi-domain digital behaviour change intervention reduce decline amongst older adults, key findings arising from this process. Methods A theory-, evidence- person-based approach was...
Introduction Multidomain interventions to address modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising, but require more cost-effective, scalable delivery. This study investigated the feasibility of “Active Brains” digital behavior change intervention and its trial procedures. Materials methods Active Brains aims reduce cognitive decline by promoting physical activity, healthy eating, online training. We conducted 12-month parallel-design randomized controlled trials amongst “lower scoring” (...
Self-management education (SME) is a key determinant of diabetes treatment outcomes. While SME programs are often adapted for implementation, the impact adaptations on effectiveness not well documented. This study evaluated implementation fidelity program effectiveness, exploring which factors influence fidelity. Data from 33 type 2 providers and 166 patients were collected in 8 countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, UK, Israel, Taiwan USA). Program completed questionnaire assessing...
